Hi, I come up with a solution using libusb. The connection protocol lacks (at least) two packets that switch on the sound on the HiFi. I made a C script that works with MCM530, but it should also work with MCM5xx https://github.com/nheir/usb_pc_link The readme describes the missing packets.

Status in The Linux Kernel: In Progress Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This is a "Boombox" Philips Micro HiFi System model MCM595 with the "PC Link" feature. It's detected bye ALSA and even the mixer shows up. But testing sound with it does not work. I've tested sound redirecting it with System -> Preferences -> Sound ... and even with MPlayer assigning the hw0.1 in the alsa mplayer module.
